Honest, I don't make stuff up. Its just my life and I LOVE my life. Now I have never claimed to be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree but I do have some common sense though the following story may make you doubt that. What I think this world has forgotten is that truth is not determined by one's feelings. I'm not going to get political so just keep reading. Truth is determined by the foundation it is founded upon. I believe every Word of the Bible is true. When I sin, I have allowed my feelings to trump God's Word just plain and simple. Absolute truth exists. Stomp your feet, fuss all you want; your feelings don't determine truth. I can prove it ... I have fruit trees and a couple of months ago I had to prune them. Now my boys had gone to my brother's house and my husband was away. Truth - fruit trees need pruned. Truth - if I wanted them done that day it was gonna be me. Having a cutting instrument in your hand while standing on the very top of a ladder may not be the wisest choice but I "thought" I had it all planned out. You see I was going to get on top of the 6-8 foot ladder. I needed to trim off a branch that was connected to a larger limb. Simple - put the ladder beside the tree and if something would happen I would just quickly lean on the large limb to steady myself. It worked well in my head; raise your hand if you have seen something like that on tv. I placed the ladder next to the limb - golden. I went to the top - hey I got this. Funny thing about how the ladder went because I quickly realized that I was no Ninja warrior. The ladder went. My carcass did not hit the limb; however, I'm pretty sure the bark slowed me down. The ladder oh the ladder it helped slow the other side of me down and then... THE GROUND REALLY SLOWED ME DOWN. I laid there for a moment. Realizing pretty sure the trail camera footage on the edge of the woods probably could earn me some followers on you tube. I laid there a moment. Praise the Lord no broken bones but buddy I had bruises all over. Now listen if you had asked my feelings at the beginning I would have told you I better not catch my boys doing this but I could handle it. My sincerity didn't cushion the fall. Why? Because my 'truth' was based on how I felt and my own reasoning. It took a while to recover from the bruises and looking at ladders almost makes me break out in a sweat but I'm fine. Friends, other actions based on feelings lead to disasterous consequences in relationships and homes. Eternity is coming for everyone reading this. What are you basing your destination on? Pastor Chris' sermon on 1/29/23 am "Why There Is Only One Way" will show in the Bible how you can KNOW you are on your way to heaven. The Bible is a sure foundation.
